I guess if the best players did go the importance would be increased but as it is now if a tournament is set-up with the premise that the winner is the "World Champion" and yet everyone knows beforehand that the results mean nothing why should anyone care?
Was there even one of the top 10 players in the game today at the tournament?

Yes. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICHIRO!!!
Ortiz, Cabrera, K-Rod.
The AL MVP Pedroia. The NL MVP Jimmy Rollins.
Plenty of good players. Not sure when else they can have this tournament since the baseball season is incredibly long. It's only once every 4 years from now on. If the US doesn't care, then they don't care.. one day maybe the tournament will be held somewhere else!
